Dropped a whole tin of pellets.

I just had an even worse Friday evening casualty on the shooting bench, and it reminded me of this.

If I had a tin of pellets for every tin I've dropped.

Why can't they be the cheap ones for plinkin? Nope, they have to be the 500 count 15.89 JSBs.

Well, good thing it was just Lite Beer.

Thanks for sharing the tips guys. I’m getting the magnets right away. This forum is awesome for sure. I’m really glad that I didn’t just shoot the dirty ones, there was lots of dust on the water. Seems like you could possibly scratch your barrel if a pellet had a tiny bit of something hard on it as it zipped up the barrel. I also ordered a couple of those cool pellet pouches made of leather.

would be way cool to have a lead magnet instead of being a chick one :<}}

the sock / vacuum idea is something I need to remember. I have only lubed pellets once. I dropped a brand new tin of JSB in my shop. That floor is dirty with metal and saw dust. I picked up the pellets washed them then blew dried them then sprayed some Hornady one shot sizing spray on them. They shot horrible. Thats when I decided to dump my JSB pellets in a screw top tin or a pellet pouch.

Oh how we all have been there! I hate it when I have to retrieve pellets from the dirt or leafy matter.

Recently had a friend make me up a pellet pouch, a clone to the old, no longer available Beeman pouch. Oh what a difference, even like it better than my Wilkinsen pouch!

I added a picture below, if anyone interested in one I can put you in contact with this guy, i love mine.

Cheers

You need a big magnet to help with that.

Yep, it happened to me. I feel your pain. Luckily a partial tin. Easily separated the dinged ones and used them for chrony shots.
